Of course not. He doesn't have a single hint of black in him. For all you know the DNA test is picking up minor traces, and there is no way to validate it. You can poll millions of people and nobody would think he's got a drop of black blood. I am white, and would not consider him to be black.

Does Caitlyn Jenner have a single hint of female DNA in him...
Due to the history of slavery, many whites do have drops of black blood in them and vice versa. How do you think some blacks become so light skinned?
Dumbass? She did more for the black community than other blacks do for the black community.
A white person who embraced, supported, and worked for the black community. Oh the horror.
Last time I checked, blacks are always complaining that not enough white people are understanding, accepting, and tolerant of black culture yet here were are chastising a white person who was.
What black person was complaining about whites being understanding, tolerant and accepting of “black culture?” I’ve never seen that before in all my 53 years. What kinda black folks are YOU hanging around? The ones I know don’t give a damn about non black acceptance.
Are you here for the sole purpose of putting a bigger black eye on black folks by making us look obsequious and servile to whites? Because these Conservatives are eating it up!
You don’t get it, do you? The United States has changed...irreversibly. What was AINT no more. You don’t run the show unilaterally anymore. Get used to it.
This ain’t your daddy’s America.
If you can’t use it, then it’s pointless.
I can say I’m a billionaire. I can do so legally. I still can’t afford a Ferrari.
This is a restricted club. You’ve gotta be born into it to be a member. We don’t except converts.
Do you do a paper bag test or something? Break out a color chart? DO you have a spectrum that indicates when someone is not black? Is this even based on skin color? What exactly makes someone "black"?
Yes I consider him to be black. He's as black as Caitlyn Jenner is a woman.
Sorry, you don't get to mismatch social constructs because one is too bizarre than the other.
Pandora's box has been opened and this is what you get: white people who self-identify as black people and vice versa.
If he wants to put "black" on his census, job applications, college applications, etc. then he has 100% every right to do it.
As a black man, my community should be more than happy that white people are opening to embracing black culture. All we do is whine about the whites on the opposite spectrum (alternative right, extremists, conservatives, etc) who outright refuse to embrace anything about black culture.
Oh the irony that we blacks would be so offended by this when this is what we ask for (more whites to understand and relate to blacks) every single day
1. What are you talking about?
2. I have never met a "white person" who identifies as black and I bet very few people have come across one.
3. I won't touch that one.
4. I'm not black but my two cents is you should only speak for one black man.

Put it this way; black folks know who is and who isn’t black. We rarely if ever get surprised.
That’s all I should say on it. My people know who their people are.
This is true. And the standard has been self identification. (I currently identify as an Inuit)
Curious how the court will view it. In Canada the term is "Visible Minorities".
I'm sure even in that case, people will debate who "looks black" or "looks Hispanic" when someone is mixed race. I know people who are a quarter Asian or Middle Eastern and look completely white and white people with no non-white ancestors who look they could be Mexican or mixed with black or Asian.
